While fixing the GNU linker so that it'd run on my ST, I had just
finished the part that writes the symbol table into the executable file,
when I realized that I couldn't think of anything that would use it once
I'd written it (!)  Is there anything that can make use of the symbol
info in an executable?  

Also, when one loads an executable, where in memory does the symbol info
get loaded?  Does the TPA point to it?

Thanks in advance for any info.
